Treveric "Terry" Speaks
Leadership Development Organizer
Terry is a passionate leadership development organizer, speaker, and advocate committed to transforming lives through the power of purpose-driven leadership and justice-centered outreach. With a heart for criminal justice reform, he equips current and future leaders with the tools to drive meaningful change in their communities and beyond.
​
As a community-based leader, Terry actively engages with individuals to raise awareness about the work of his organization, how community members can get involved, and how to access critical resources related to reentry and navigating the legal system. Whether he's in the neighborhoods or in Annapolis, he’s on the ground and at the table—fighting for policies that remove systemic barriers and uplift the voices of those who may not yet be able to speak for themselves.
Blending leadership training with impactful advocacy outreach, Terry aims to amplify voices, ensure that stories matter, and ultimately that systems are challenged. From organizing grassroots initiatives to leading workshops, he empowers individuals—especially those directly impacted by the justice system—to rise as agents of change.
